Box Office Analyzations 9/13/13 - 9/15/13

This week in the box office: James Wan haunts cinemas.....again while De Niro's family had a solid reunion.

#1 - Insidious Chapter 2

Insidious Chapter 2 debuted in first place with $40.2 million. That's unbelievably good considering the film only had a $5 million budget. The original Insidious only debuted to $13.2 million in 2011 and went on to gross $54 million domestic. If Insidious Chapter 2 follows the same path, it will gross over $164 million domestically (not including foreign markets). That seems pretty high but Insidious Chapter 2 will (and already is) a huge success for FilmDistrict. Insidious Chapter 2 is also the second highest September debut ever with last year's Hotel Transylvania still in first with $42.5 million and the ninth highest Fall debut ever with 2011's Paranormal Activity 3 in the lead with $52.5 million. Insidious Chapter 2 only has a "B+" CinemaScore which shows the holdover might not be too great but that doesn't matter as the movie is already a success. Insidious Chapter 2 had a $5 million budget and currently has $40.2 million in the box office.

The Family debuted in second place with $14 million. If the holdover is average then the film will go on to make about $42 million domestically which would exceed its $30 million budget. However, the film has a pretty bad "C" CinemaScore so it's possible The Family will just plummet in the box office. The Family had a budget of $30 million and currently has $14 million in the box office.

Riddick dropped from first to second place with $6.8 million. That's a 64% drop which was expected with the "B" CinemaScore. Riddick had a budget of $38 million and currently has $53.1 million in the box office.

The Butler dropped from second to fourth place with $5.5 million. That's only a 34% drop which is great even with the film's "A" CinemaScore. The Butler had a budget of $30 million and currently has $100 million in the box office.

We're the Millers dropped from fourth to fifth place with $5.4 million. That's only a 29.8% drop which is fantastic with the film's "A-" CinemaScore. We're the Millers had a $37 million budget and currently has $201.2 million worldwide.

Iron Man 3 left theaters after opening on May 3. Iron Man 3 had a $200 million budget and made $1.2 billion in the box office making Iron Man 3 a box office success and the fifth highest grossing movie of all time. Iron Man 3 will make its way to Blu-ray on September 24.

Star Trek Into Darkness left theaters after opening on May 16. Star Trek Into Darkness had a $190 million budget and made $465.3 million in the box office making Star Trek Into Darkness a box office success. Star Trek Into Darkness is currently available on Blu-ray.

The Internship left theaters after opening on June 7. The Internship had a $58 million budget and made $85.2 million worldwide making the film a mild box office success. The Internship will be available on Blu-ray on October 22.
